Hello all. I don't post often. I only check in periodically now days. I'm just posting my latest PSA results because I remember how I felt in the begining of this journey whenever I read about other guys out that far. Life for me is basically back to normal. I rarely think about the PC. I don't even feel any anxiety prior to taking then PSA. (Why worry about things you can't control) Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know there's life after PC! Health and happiness to everyone on this PC journey.

Thanks guys. I check in because all lot of the stories and experiences I've read about in this forum have touched me in ways I did not think possible. I've been comforted, entertained, saddened, encouraged, gained insight, and most importantly I learned so much about myself. I've gained so much from all of you here and I really appreciate everything you've done in sharing yourselves. So I may only check in periodically but I have recommended this website to quite a few men who I found out were dx'd with PC and will continue to do so. God Bless you all.

I have a date with the robo surgeon on Sept 3 but I'm keeping my options open. I'm also looking at seeds combined with IGRT which seems to be having good results with high-risk patients..
